The Wave of the Future- Be On It!
Looking for a Positive, No-Force obedience training program?

Inside this book you will find a completely new dog training method that
will work for any breed, especially breeds that rebel against traditional
training methods.  Humane, efficient learning sequences designed to
produce lasting retention of exercises with no negative feelings on the
part of the dog or handler.
The OPT Obedience Program is the ONLY dog training method that
approaches the dog from a Communication standpoint.  Training
CONCEPTS that can be blended into UNITS that become Obedience,
Conformation, Schutzhund, or any other type of controlled dog
performance that you desire.     
The idea of training without force is not new, nor is the use of food as a
reinforcer a novel concept.  However, the use of food to get first
response and to get it off lead from LESSON ONE is not only new, but
radically different from all current programs.
The  OPT starts out LESSON ONE doing OFF LEAD RECALLS and UTILITY
GO-OUTS.  This can be done with ANY BREED at ANY AGE from SIX WEEKS
and up.  It is an excellent BONDING exercise and the foundation for all
future obedience, breed, agility, rally, tracking and schutzhund training.

The German Shepherd Dog Handbook
The German Shepherd Dog handbook, while specific to the German Shepherd in several areas,
is an all-breed obedience and tracking book.
I use it as the handbook in all of my obedience classes.
